Interesting. I thought making the Pro iDSD Roon Ready would be software only. Is the issue that there is not enough memory in the iDSD to do that? Pity ... such a great product with one big mistake ... i call it Muzo. But that should not distract from the fact that the Pro iDSD sounds amazing...

It's been Roon compatible for a good while, via a WIN based app (iFi Bridge), but it's done. Please see here: ..... I appreciate you make the effort to provide a workaround. But i am not sure you can call your product now Roon compatible. I mean you could have said before that it is Roon...

Cross reading that. Stumbled over this: "The Pro iDSD is a functioning Roon endpoint". Did i miss something and magically a firmware update came out that includes a Roon end point? My Roon players recognize the Pro iDSD only via Airplay. So i believe this is misrepresented. I do agree with the...

"...most of the MQA tracks are very very high quality. One could hear, that the tracks is recorded and mastered on very high level." I must admit that ii don't know the full process of creating MQA files. But I do know that there are many MQA files out there with recordings that were made long...

Have not done a lot of testing so take this with a grain of salt. What i am comparing to is playing a FLAC 44/24 file through the iDSD with DSD upsampling and GTO filter. Compared to that i'd say i hear a difference when playing MQA. But i can't say that i like it better. Beyond that: while i...

“Muzo only works if your Pro iDSD is connected to wifi which doesn't work as well as ethernet connection” - not sure i understand. I use Ethernet, have never touched Wifi on the iDSD and Muzo works just fine. As long as you have the Muzo control app and the iDSD (with the Muzo end point) on the...

You mean MQA decoding when connected via USB i assume? I do not play MQA with my computer attached via USB very often but when i do it worked perfectly. I played from Tidal for using the Roon end point on my computer and both worked great. However, there are definitely problems with stability...

I just tried on my unit. DSD remastering on - all the filters are available including BP. You say you use firmware 2.01 beta? 2.01 is not flagged as beta release. Regarding lockups: i have seen lockups when streaming 192/24 FLAC files to the iDSD (i very rarely happened with 96/24 FLAC). I have...

I agree that it would make sense for some way of deactivating wireless on the Pro iDSD if you use it with a wired connection or even just as USB DAC. But i have never done any WiFi configuration. When i got the Pro iDSD i connected it straight via wired Ethernet and had never an issue to play to...

I see what you mean. And i agree - it makes sense for iFi to support end points from 3rd parties to offer more choices. After playing a bit with Roon i can see why people would prefer it over Muzo. The UI is very appealing. I would probably pay the fee for Roon core (especially since it looks...

it is my understanding that one of the advantages of MQA is that high res audio can be streamed with lower bandwidth requirements. Why is it then that DAC's with streaming capability lie Pro iDSD do not support MQA over network interface?

Hmm ... i selected the Pro iDSD as DAC BECAUSE it inlcudes both a first class DAC AND a streamer. I did not expect support for Roon, since this was not in the specifications. However, i do expect that i can play up to 192/24 files via UPnP or Muzo reliably over the network (or from SD card or...

Airplay and UPnP are already supported, aren't they? Based on the number of people requesting Roon here it might make sense to add that. I have no experience with Chromecast but i guess supporting that would give direct access from a large number of devices.

Thanks for responding. A few points though: - As pointed out in previous posts i see the exact same stuttering behavior for all inputs that fall under "App" - so also when playing the same FLAC file from an SD card inserted to the slot in the Pro iDSD. So i consider it highly unlikely that my...

I recall from reading earlier posts that you use wired Ethernet for transmission. I am using wireless, streaming from a QNAP NAS (OS is some Linux derivative). With wireless i am never 100% sure i can exclude it from introducing issues. But: i tested - playing from the same source same file to...

I am interested in that, too. I have opened tickets regarding this. While there was some advice there is really no resolution. To summarize: - i see stuttering for 192/24 for everything that is coming in via "App" interface - so it happens not only for network input but also SD card and USB hard...

Thanks for responding. Again, acknowledge that WiFi is not as reliable as wired Ethernet. And i cannot exclude with certainty that there is an issue of some sort with WiFi that only manifests itself when playing audio. But with either medium you just need to keep the playback buffer filled so...

WiFi with a twist: the Pro iDSD connects via LAN cable to a Netgear EX8000 Wifi extender. So the media files from the UPnP server are send from the main WiFi access point to the extender via wireless network. This is why i (as mentioned in my previous post) i did some reference experiments -...

I believe i saw your earlier post on that before i purchased my Pro iDSD. What i was looking for was user experience for using the Pro iDSD as network streamer because i was looking for a device that was not just a DAC but i could also stream to over network. Now that i have the Pro iDSD i have...

If the popping issue the customer reported is a symptom for packet errors caused by noise at the source computer is there an explanation why this occurs only at 44/48kHz, but not at files with higher sampling rates?

Understood. I use UPnP but until yesterday my UPnP server was running on Windows. I now use a UPnP server on QNAP which actually is Linux. I see the issues i described whether the UPnP server runs on Windows or on QNAP/Linux. Whatever it is - there is some issue with the Pro iDSD when streaming...

After reading some of the discussion you referenced above i wonder if the issue that i have reported in the below could be associated with the XMOS bug. It appears the symptoms are the same ("Every indication here is that the bug is on the DAC side–that is fairly easy to see from the failure...

Regarding "app/network" playback with Pro iDSD: I have found some issues (ticket with iFi audio is open) but wonder what other's experiences are. Issue: when trying to play 96 or 192 FLAC files from a SD card or hard disk (both connected to the iDSD), or via network, is see that the iDSD...

i received my Pro iDSD today. I connected it to the network via wired connection (WiFi is not set up). Most things work fine. I could see the device from Muzo or from my DLNA control app (8player, DLNA server is whatever Netgear is using). However, when i stream Tidal MQA from my iPhone using...
